More quotes by Peter Drucker
[Entrepreneurship] is by no means hunch or gamble. But it also is not precisely science. Rather, it is judgment.
Peter Drucker
[T]hroughout the ages to be educated meant to be unproductive.... our word school - and its equivalent in all European languages - derives from a Greek word meaning leisure.
Peter Drucker
The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself.
Peter Drucker
What we need is an entrepreneurial society in which innovation and entrepreneurship are normal, steady and continuous.
Peter Drucker
Most innovators are successful to the extent to which they define risks and confine them.
Peter Drucker
Plans are worthless, but planning is invaluable.
Peter Drucker
The worker's effectiveness is determined largely by the way he is being managed.
Peter Drucker
Capitalism is being attacked not because it is inefficient or misgoverned but because it is cynical. And indeed a society based on the assertion that private vices become public benefits cannot endure, no matter how impeccable its logic, no matter how great its benefits.
Peter Drucker
A business is not defined by its name, statutes, or articles of incorporation. It is defined by the business mission. Only a clear definition of the mission and purpose of the organization makes possible clear and realistic business objectives.
Peter Drucker
The more successful the unit, the more difficult it is to make sure that the large company doesn't put the same expectations on it as it does for the rest of the company. When it's a new venture, whether it's outside or inside the business, it's a child. And you don't put a 40-pound pack on a 6-year-old's back when you take her hiking.
Peter Drucker
One of the great movements in my lifetime among educated people is the need to commit themselves to action. Most people are not satisfied with giving money we also feel we need to work.
Peter Drucker
It’s up to you to carve out your place, to know when to change course, and to keep yourself engaged and productive during a work life that may span some 50 years.
Peter Drucker
Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.
Peter Drucker
Everybody has accepted by now that change is unavoidable. But that still implies that change is like death and taxes - it should be postponed as long as possible and no change would be vastly preferable. But in a period of upheaval, such as the one we are living in, change is the norm.
Peter Drucker
One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it.
Peter Drucker
The 1st question the effective decision-maker asks is: 'Is this a generic situation or an exception?'
Peter Drucker
Success? Odd as it seems, you will achieve the greates results in business and career if you drop the word 'achievement' from your vocabulary and replace it with 'contribution'.
Peter Drucker
Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is all about getting results.
Peter Drucker
Now that knowledge is taking the place of capital as the driving force in organizations worldwide, it is all too easy to confuse data with knowledge and information technology with information.
Peter Drucker
